Here are a few windmill shots from..... Holland yesterday. It was very windy; well, the Dutch knew from way back then to locate the best spot for windmills. The weather was changing fairly fast. It was sunny but 10-15 minutes later, dark clouds gathered and it rained for 10 minutes or so and it cleared up and it was sunny again. Typical, Dutch weather , I understood. The sky was really blue and the cloud formations were definitely interesting. The last shot without exif was captured using my favorite 28mm, Nikkor AF-S G lens with Metabones adapter at f/4.0....Show more →

Thanks! Yes, I am but I will leave tomorrow morning for 10 days but I will be back to Holland after that. I would like to get together with you and a few other FMers during the second trip. I will keep you updated. Thanks!
Love those windmills shots, even though I'm a dutch guy - i never bothered shooting them myself... it always puts a smile on my face when you guys posts them. Makes me miss home...

If you don't see it yourself, can I ask you what kind of monitor you're using? I hope it doesn't offend you, that's not my intention at all.
An easy way to do proper multistep downsizing/sharpening is using this free photoshop script:
I've been researching this for a few hours and I finally found what I was looking for buried in the thread I view the most. Thank you for the link! Can't wait to try it out!
